Senior Design Verification Engineer

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

As a DRAM Design Engineer in the Node Development Design group, you will be responsible for the design and verification of next generation DRAM test chips.  Working closely with product engineering and design teams, you will contribute to the pathfinding of future DRAM nodes and the development chip design required to bring innovative new ideas to production on cutting edge DRAM products.  You will be responsible for simulation verification of development chips, applying skills in timing accurate verilog and finesim while coordinating verification efforts with design teams.  The team will execute to a common goal of ensuring our future roadmap is successful.

You will apply a deep understanding of verification methodology and tools, speed/timing bottlenecks, array parasitics, sense amp margin, memory architecture and characteristics to drive design optimization and innovations that target a best in class die size, quality, reliability, and power.

Responsibilities and Tasks:

• Assist with overall design, layout, and optimization of memory circuits.
• Perform circuit simulations using standard industry tools such as SPICE and VERILOG.
• Coordinate verification tasks with design teams and design verification members.
• Debug verification concerns and translate issues back to design fix recommendations.
• Assist in design and development of schematic blocks such as memory array, control logic, address decode, datapath, and internal test logic.
• Understand the impact of design architecture decisions on overall power, speed, and die size.
• Optimize design rules for cost, performance, and functionality.
• Import layout parasitic information into circuit simulation environment.
• Interpret device specification to produce required functionality.
• Interact with process integration teams to understand semiconductor technology concerns and opportunities.
• Build solutions and define requirements for circuit operation, DFM is a key focus.
• Develop strategies to prove out innovative new ideas through test chip definition and silicon validation.
• Look for opportunities to drive competitive advantages into our solutions by developing groundbreaking ideas and concepts.

Skill sets:

• Analog circuit design and/or debugging experience.
• Simulation experience and familiarity with Cadence environment tools.
• Strong understanding of Verilog and Finesim verification tools.
• Good understanding of semiconductor process, CMOS device physics, and physical parasitics.
• Strong understanding of array core architectures, circuits, & functions.
• Strong communication skills with ability to convey sophisticated technical concepts to peers and management.
• uMATE & wafer bench data gathering experience a plus
• Good DFT/DFM understanding with knowledge of PROBE and Backend testflows a plus
• Experience with shell scripts and data extraction of production data a plus
• Experience and understanding MFG process flows / Layout / Defect analysis a plus

Required Experience:

• BSEE or greater
• 5 years of Design Engineering experience, with prior experience in verification
